Seeing the Moon-arang with blood on it really makes me think this might be TV-MA or as close to it as Disney/Marvel can make it!

Edit - and here is the trailer on Twitter!

Oh that looks really good...

[The Letter M]

Watched it again on Facebook and it had caption on. Looks like Ethan Hawke's antagonist is named Arthur Harrow, who, upon a Google search, has only appeared in 1 issue of the Moon Knight comic from 1985, so it'll be interesting to see how they use/expand upon the character and if they'll keep him faithful to the comics.

Was actually really surprised.

A lot of time (....all of it?) spent on the Steven Grant personality. No obvious Marc stuff, but I'm sure it was there.

Very very intrigued! Color me excited.

I'm only vaguely aware of this character (have had a couple of volumes of the book on my to-read list for a while but they never made it to the top) but the trailer looks ace.

New TV spot for Moon Knight!

-Marc.

[jingle.boy]

Yeah, that looked hawt!

[The Letter M]

So a LOT of clips have been posted over the last couple of weeks in the run-up to the premier tonight/tomorrow morning, and I've seen a few but on the whole, I've avoided most of them.  Hopefully those clips aren't from the back-half of the series and we haven't been spoiled of anything major, though there have been some very interesting moments teased already!

Less than 12 hours to go, but I'll be watching it tomorrow morning (as staying up til 3-4am tonight would be out of the question).

-Marc.

[Adami]

I’ve avoided most of the clips other than the initial trailers.

I assume we can be spoiler free for the first day or so? Not everyone can watch it the second it’s released and sometimes it’s spoiled so quickly. But if not, that’s fine. I’ll just avoid the thread. Though it’d be cool to see initial reactions without spoilers.

[jingle.boy]

I watched 3 or four of the spots, and the one video that was a 60-second or so segment of the show ("get the suit" or something like that?).  But otherwise, I've also tried to stay away.

jingle.son is busy as hell with school right now, so it's a tossup as to whether or not we'll be able to pound this back tomorrow or Thursday.

I'm down with keeping spoilers out until Thursdays. It's just six weeks/episodes anyway. I'll adjust the thread title to reflect this!

Just watched the first episode and HOO BOY, what a ride this was! Definitely a very captivating first episode, and I loved the way they handled certain aspects of Steven Grant's DID. The cinematography was pretty top-notch, and the FX were really good, IMO, especially for a non-film MCU property. This might be the best first episode of a Disney+ MCU show so far, and I'm really intrigued to learn more about Moon Knight. I think they did a good job of giving us just enough of a new character to keep us wanting to come back for me.

Marc, any concern about the content for kids?  In the past, I wouldn't have even questioned it.  But given the direction Marvel and D+ have been moving, I feel like I now have to be more proactive.

I would say the content is at least TV-14, there are some moments that might be scary for younger kids, there is a bit of violence and blood, but nothing explicitly gory or gross (yet). It's nowhere near as gruesome as, say, Daredevil or The Punisher. There are also some moments that might be considering horror, or jump scare-like, but it depends on how you view such things and what your threshold for those sorts of moments are in media. If you're concerned, it's always b est to screen the episode yourself and check it out, but I think teens could watch it OK, but anyone under 12 might be concerned. Then again, I saw parents take their two 10-and-younger sons to see The Batman on opening weekend, so I'm not sure what parents' thoughts on violence are these days!

[DoctorAction]

Loved the first episode. The editing and pace were fantastic, as was Oscar Isaac. Looking forward to the next one!

I saw what appeared to be 6-year old-ish kids at The Batman.   

[lonestar]

Ok...that was a fucking dope first episode.

[jingle.boy]

Ok...that was a fucking dope first episode.

Yup.  I agree with Marc ... best 1st episode of a Marvel series so far.

[The Letter M]

I think what helps this series is that it is completely uncharted territory, with brand new (to the MCU) characters without very little established back story or references to prior events. Every Disney+ MCU show last year drew upon past films and characters (WandaVision, obviously drawing up several films featuring the title characters; Falcon & Winter Soldier continuing on from TWS and CW; Loki expanding the 2012 Loki we saw in Endgame; and Hawkeye following, well, Hawkeye), although those four shows did give us new heroes/villains (Monica Rambeau and SWORD, Isaiah and Eli Bradley, Sylvie and the TVA, and Kate Bishop).

Funny enough, the TV shows followed up old characters while, for the most part, the films last year gave us new ones (Yelena Belova, Shang-Chi, and all of the Eternals - not counting Spider-Man, though you could say that all of the multiverse men were "new" to the MCU). This year it's the opposite, with 3 highly anticipated sequels in the cinemas (Doctor Strange, Thor, and Black Panther), and pretty new characters on the small screen (Moon Knight, Ms. Marvel, and She-Hulk). Whether or not this was done on purpose, who knows, but Feige has a master plan so I trust his guidance of the MCU!

Really trippy episode there. Loving F Murray Abraham as the voice guy thing!

Exactly.  That was a MONEY get for them.  He was great.


I loved the first episode, but my wife is completely lost lol

[Orbert]

Saw it.  It was pretty fun.  Curious to see where this goes.

[The Realm]

Loved the first episode. My favourite of the Marvel tv shows so far (although I did really enjoy WandaVision too).

[Adami]

Really fun first episode. If I were writing a Moon Knight series, I would not have come up with using Steven Grant as a framing device, but if they're trying to move a little away from the ultra dark and gritty stuff into something a bit more captivating and public friendly, it's a great idea.

I do hope, however, that the narrative changes more to Mark sooner rather than later.

But yea, really dug it! Great acting from everyone, and really interesting writing/directing. Anyone else notice it was written by the dude who did Fan4stick? Nice redemption there.

[HOF]

Watched it tonight. Not sure what I just saw and I hope the whole series isn’t this discombobulating. But I felt it when that guy ordered the steak.

[Adami]

Since we can spoil it now, I just have one thought that popped into my head


That end scene of Moon Knight beating that dog thing was just so on point. Just a brutal character who has no fear and doesn’t resort to powers beyond beating the hell out of people. Really loved just how in character it was. Silently punching the thing to complete submission.

My favorite part of that was seeing the jackal trying to get away from him. It wasn't that MK was in there with the jackal, it was that the jackal was in there with MK. Very nice piece of visual storytelling to show just how frightening MK can be.

So much that.. How they managed to transfer the jackal from a feirce beast to absolutely Fearing for its life. Such a clever use of the scene to show his absolute power.

[The Letter M]

Caught episode two earlier this morning and WOOO what a trip that was! I'm really enjoying what they're doing with the Steven/Marc dynamic, and slowly unraveling his relationships with the others in the cast is fascinating. I know in the comics Marc has more than just Steven as part of his personalities, but I'm glad we're staying grounded with just Steven for now. It helps the audience feel invested in learning about Marc as much as Steven is, and it's a smart way to introduce Marc without being over-blown exposition for the sake of info dumping, or just tossing out a single line of dialog to hand-wave some important backstory ("Somehow, Palpatine has returned").

I can't say I liked this episode much more than the first, but it wasn't worse. Definitely on par with the first episode, so I hope they keep up this pace and movement in the story!

-Marc.

[jingle.boy]

I liked it a bit more - mostly because I watch Marvel for the story AND the action.  I do like the pacing, and how the unravelling of the story is happening.  Wasn't expecting the twist that Steven came up with.  That was a pleasant surprise.

[King Postwhore]

The inner battle between Steven/Marc is fascinating.
